The small circle shows an eclipse that prevents the performance of a ceremony, and the large circle depicts a ceremony that the shamans are performing to cure two shamans who are about to die. One shaman dreams that the two dying shamans were very bad and this is why the gods are punishing them, and that the sun and the moon will help them only if they perform a ceremony called the fiesta of the drum and they must make offerings to the gods with the sacred tejuino (corn liquor) If this ceremony is performed then the animals will leave the shaman's bodies and they will not be punished. This is why a caliguey (small sacred house) is constructed each year where the celebration is held to leave offerings and to have greater contaxct with their ancestors who give advice to the shamans.
